He's the right-wing loud mouth for Boston radio and tabloid news paper.
Echo-chamber regurgitation of RW talking-points all day long.
Insecure, macho-overcompensation, small-penis personality archetype.
He was truly disgusting and horrible to Ted Kennedy (all of them, actually)
He is not above personal insults, as you can see here. He is known for his jackass behavior.
He's the kind who will claim there is no such thing as global warming because it is cold outside in February.

In other words, he is a perfect warm-up act for Trumpf.

Warren’s siblings have all backed up the candidate’s statements. One brother told the Globe that his grandparents explained to him, after much pleading to get answers as a child, that “your grandfather is part Delaware, a little bitty bit, way back, and your grandmother is part Cherokee,” according to the Globe.

But the Globe also noted that some of Warren’s cousins “say they know nothing of Native American blood in the family.”

Warren explained how she learned about her Indian lineage for a profile in The New Yorker. The professor-turned-politician said her parents had eloped, and she had always wondered why. Over the years, she said, the story emerged that “my parents were very much in love, they wanted to get married, and my father’s mother and father said, ‘No. You cannot marry her, because she is part Cherokee and part Delaware.’”


........

So she heard from her family growing up stories of part first nations blood in the family. She grew up with that family lore and believed it. So what if there is no actual proof? Who cares even IF there is no actual documentation or that even if she was repeating what she heard from her siblings and parents and there was no real truth to it. She was only saying what she was told about herself. Is that so terrible? I'm sure she first mentioned it because it was just some interesting part of what she was told was her heritage.

It seems much worse to be mocking a stereotype of an injun from some '50s hollywood movie.

by resorting to the old TV stereotype that American Indians are just a bunch of savages who are always attacking white men, using their stereotype war chant in the process.

Typical RW talk show ignorance.

It is equivalent to other racial slurs for various ethnicity. GROW UP! That man is acting like a child.

One gets tired of seeing all the four-letter words used to describe dumdum. It's much more fun to find a word that really resounds-- like "moron." Or "imbecile."
